This is
experimental and based on &quot;Visual Studio 2019 Preview 4&quot; because this
version of VS has not been released.</p>
<p>The VS 2019 generator differs from generators for earlier versions
in that it does not provide variants that specify the target platform
in the generator name.  Instead <span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../variable/CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM.html#variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM" title="CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM</span></code></a>
must be used, e.g. through the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-A</span></code> command-line option.  Furthermore,
the default target platform (architecture) is now based on the <em>host</em>
platform.  The VS host toolset selection is now based on the host
architecture as well.</p>
